Walmart Reverses Course, , Closes Down Its , Walmart Health Division.
NBC reports that Walmart has announced
it will close all 52 of the doctor-staffed
health clinics the company operates.
The announcement comes as
part of the company's decision to
shut down its Walmart Health Initiative.
Clinics that will close down are located in
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois and Texas. .
On April 30, the company also said it would
begin winding down its virtual care service.
The decision to end the Walmart Health Initiative
will not reportedly impact Walmart
pharmacies and vision centers.
Walmart said that it will work to direct current patients
to other providers covered by their insurance
networks to ensure they continue to receive care.
NBC reports that the news comes as a swift
reversal of Walmart's plan to expand its number
of doctor-staffed clinics to 70 by the end of 2024.
Through our experience managing
Walmart Health centers and
Walmart Health Virtual Care,
we determined there is
not a sustainable business
model for us to continue, Walmart statement, via NBC.
Other nontraditional health care
providers have also been forced to
reconsider their plans in recent years. .
Last month, Walgreens announced that it would
close 140 of the company's primary care clinics,
along with plans to shut down 20 more.

The case is the first cetacean ever recorded
in North America with highly pathogenic
avian influenza virus (HPAIV).
The study warns that a highly contagious
bird flu "could be catastrophic"
for cetacean species.
In March of 2022, a dolphin was found
"in distress" in a Dixie County canal and died
shortly after the arrival of a rescue team. .
A postmortem revealed that the dolphin suffered
from a number of health problems, including
leptomeninges disease and brain inflammation.
We still don't know where
the dolphin got the virus and
more research needs to be done, Richard Webby, Director of the World Health
Organization Collaborating Center for Studies
on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals and Birds at
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, via 'Newsweek'.
After first being detected in North America
in 2021, the virus has been spreading
among birds and other mammals.

According to researchers, harbor seals and grey seals
in the area had died from the same virus. A small
amount were also found to have neurological symptoms.
So far, seals and sea lions have
been the primary mammal species
to be impacted by the disease. .
'Newsweek' reports that the recent study highlights the
importance of learning more about the virus in order to
potentially prevent it from spreading to further species.
